Music Mondays: Klaxons are like woah

Yeah that's right. Their new album is pretty unbelievable - in a fantastic way! There is more singing and chanting and it's pretty much superb.

I am very much looking forward to seeing them soon in Melbourne.

On a non-music note my hair is still purple. The blue dye should arrive tomorrow. At least my heart hopes so. I'm nervous but excited about the blue. No one seems to find it strange that I've decided on blue next but there is always that fear before the dye.

You know I'll post pictures once it's done.

Friday funny: Justin Long FTW

A friend of mine posted a link to this interview with Justin Long on her Twitter. It's hilarious and makes me love that man so much more!!!

It's in three parts but I promise it's worth the watch!

One of the features that I love on my iPhone is that it saves text messages as a conversation. Just helps enhance the funny.

Happy Shopper: More Shanalogic goodies

Today was a lazy day.

I spent a lot of the afternoon snuggled up on the couch watching Season 1 of Criminal Minds with a blanket wrapped around me (to save myself from the arctic weather that has settled in this week).

I also spent some time trying to figure out a way to re-design my blog (or at least edit the layout and header design) with very little luck. I'm not very html saavy and the templates were kicking my arse! Anyone who can offer help please do!!

So I decided to take some new happy shopper photos of items I have recieved from Shanalogic.com.

I've had this print by (I think) Helena Garcia for a very very long time but only now have I managed to frame it and give it the love and attention it deserves. It's no longer available in the shop but I love it so much I had to share.

For my birthday my siblings bought me all thing Shanalogic (it's nice to see I'm training them well) and one of said items was the Rubix Cube Necklace by Chemical X. I think the best thing about this necklace is that it is an actual WORKING Rubix Cube!! Perfect for the mega nerd inside me.

The other item the siblings bought me was the Alice Charm Bracelet by Locketship. I've been lusting after these items since they were initally posted on Shanalogic and I was super happy when I opened the packaging and it was this bracelet. It's so beautiful and cute and the heart "tings" against the other charms when I wear it so I walk around like a cat with a bell around it's neck.  

I'm a very very happy shopper anytime I order anything from Shanalogic - I'm an even happier shopper when it's a gift (because it means all my hinting and obsessing is being listened to).

I also got my hair cut today - I've lost the angled cut and it's back to normal now. The ends of my hair on the longer side were beyond frazzled so I decided to take the plunge and now I've got a kind of longer length bob. I'm yet to dye it blue (because the dye was out of stock - it should arrive next week) so I'll give it another good conditioning treatment or two before I attack it with bleach and blue dye.

All in all this was a very un-productive but lovely day.

Music Mondays: music to save your mood

I know it's not Monday anymore but I had a bad day today and this was about the only thing that got me out of my funky mood.

Old school Kings of Leon cures all. Before the arenas, before "Sex on Fire", before the radio airplay, before the model girlfriends and famous friends there was just four boys playing amazing music.

To this day they still manage to save me from my horrible moods.

IT'S ARRIVED: iPAD LOVE!

I've had it for approximately 30 minutes and already I'm in love!

About a month ago at work we were told we all won iPads through an incentive that we had forgotten about - today they arrived!!!

Currently it's syncing with my iTunes but I cannot wait to figure out exactly what I can do with this beautiful creature of a machine. It's beautiful, sleek, and simply gorgeous! I don't know exactly what it's purpose is - all I know is I'm so happy I have one!

I'm going to JB Hi Fi to go buy accessories for this thing so that I can protect it as much as possible.

I brought it home and took photos because I just couldn't wait to share the amazingness!

I'm going to see Scott Pilgrim Vs The World tonight (it doesn't start for 3 hours so I have at least 2 hours with the iPad before I have to leave it).

'Scuze me while I disappear for a few days (I'm SOOOO glad I have the weekend off)
